Generalized Snell-Descartes and Fresnel laws are derived for harmonic inhomogeneous plane waves that are incident upon a static interface between two continuous absorbing dielectric media that are macroscopically characterized by their electric and magneti ...
We present a general description of electromagnetic RR interactions between pairs of magnetically dual D-branes, focusing on the interaction of a magnetically charged brane with an electrically charged one. In the boundary state formalism, it turns out tha ...
HPM and UWB sources can represent a threat for the sensitive equipment of various military and civil targets. The paper focuses on effects on aircraft and discusses the modeling possibilities available today to estimate such a threat for modern airplanes. ...
High power microwave (HPM) and ultra wide band (UWB) sources can represent a threat for the sensitive equipment of various military and civil targets. The paper focuses on effects on aircraft and discusses the modeling possibilities available today to esti ...
A new instrument for measuring cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) on board small aircraft is described. Small aircraft are attractive mainly because they are less costly, but they require instruments that are designed for minimum weight, volume, and power con ...
The paper presents experimental results obtained as part of the GEMCAR European project using the VERIFY EMP simulator belonging to the Swiss Defense Procurement Agency (Spiez). VERIFY generates a vertically polarized electric field with a rise time of 0.9 ...
The choice of the drive composition is an obligatory stage in designing a product including electric drives. The large variety of the elements composing the electric drive (electronics, driving and kinematic chain) leads to a quasi-unlimited number of poss ...
In this paper the effects of the magnetic self-field on the transport properties of a multi-layer high-Tc superconducting (HTS) cable are investigated by means of 2D finite element method (FEM) simulations. Analyzed is a 3-layer HTS cable, but the develope ...
Models of hydraulic components based on impedance method have been implemented in a software called “SIMSEN”. This tool allows the simultaneous solution of the electrical, hydraulic, mechanic and control equations ensuring a proper interaction between the ...
Although, due to the high variability of key parameters such as the return-stroke speed, it is impossible to determine the lightning current accurately from the remotely measured electric or magnetic field for a given event, we show in this paper that, for ...
